After almost everyone made fun of Herman Cain’s campaign ad showing his chief of staff taking a long drag on a cigarette, I thought it couldn’t get any better. But it did. Watch Jon Huntsman’s daughters’ parody ad, which simultaneously “shamelessly” promotes their father for president: Why can’t this guy get any traction with the […]
Herman Cain releases a campaign ad showing his chief of staff taking a drag on a cigarette. Stephen Colbert takes it to the next level: UPDATE: Colbert wasn’t the only person making fun of Cain’s ad. CNN rates the various parodies and shows their favorites. UPDATE 2: Cain defends the ad.

Herman Cain is currently leading in several polls for the Republican presidential nomination. Since several other candidates have held the lead for brief periods, some people think that Cain might just be the flavor of the month, but there is something different about Cain.

The Democratic National Committee has created a brutal website WhichMitt.com that shows up some of Mitt Romney’s more egregious flip-flops, using only his own words (including video).
